NEW FOR 2024: WriteMovies Script Pitch Contest – become a prize winner by submitting a high-quality pitch!
Since 1999, WriteMovies’ screenwriting contests guarantee to help develop our winners’ scripts at our own expense and pitch them to producers with the power to make them happen. Now for 2024, we’re launching a new Script Pitch Contest, where we will help develop your idea and provide guaranteed representation based solely on the quality of your pitch!
We’re serious about selling our winners’ scripts and have the connections to put them in front of decision makers.
To enter, use the sidebar button and email us a one-page pitch (max 500 words) including the following: author name, logline, and information about the project.
